Then choose Edit Sharing images/U2192.jpg border=0> FileMaker Network (Windows) or FileMaker Pro images/U2192.jpg border=0> Sharing images/U2192.jpg border=0> FileMaker Network (Mac OS X). To set up the host, open the databases you want to share on one computer. See the box on Section 18.2.1.1 for a refresher. Once you're sharing files, you need to revisit the topic of record locking. No two people can work in the same record at the same time, though. Once you're set up, all five people can work in the database at the same time, adding, editing, and deleting records, performing finds, printing, and running scripts. Up to five guests can connect to one host. Every other computer that opens those files is called a guest, since it opens the same databases that are on the host.

Then open those files, change a few settings in each file, and call that computer the host. First, you put all your databases on one computer. If you already have a network in your office, and a few copies of FileMaker, you're ready to share your database. The easiest way to share your data is with FileMaker Network Sharing.
